New York 2006

No. It may have been closer but Pataki still had the 9/11 effect.

Fred Dicker of the New York Post said on "NY Week in Review" that Weld would be lucky to get 25%. What a joke.

He may be polling like that now but once the election gets going it will be in the 40's, same with Golisano.

isnt peter king pro-labor union?

That's kind of a must to be elected in that district.

must be a horrible district made up of freedom-haters.

Welcome to New York.

[YRABNNRM]

they might actually push Weld to the third spot.

Why would more people vote for a conservative nutcase than a moderate in New York?

Sure it could be possible that some Republican votes wouldn't see a difference between Weld or Spitzer(but they would obviously blind) but the NYCon would nominate some no-name hack that wouldn't garner any attention and only hurt the cause(See: Senate 2004)

You have to remember that this is New York 2006. It's changed alot, no way in hell could a Conservative candidate win a senate seat and not just because he'd be a conservative but because the candidate, as I said before, would be a no name hack.

The NYGOP may be going down the toilet but the NYConservative Party has been in the sewers for awhile now.

No. People wanting a liberal candidate in NY would never vote for a GOP candidate as long as there is a liberal Democratic candidate, unless a major scandal errupts in my view atleast.
